Without the government's rebate I would not have purched my Nissan Leaf, and would still be adding to the pollution. Now I can feel good about helping do my part for the environment. EV charging infrastructure in Ontario need to be increased, follow Quebec for an example. Read more

1. Please develop municipal EV charging options for owners/drivers who only have access to street parking. Perhaps designate a percentage of spots in a city neighbourhood (few at first) where only EVs are permitted to park and access pay-for-use charge points. Read more

I see a huge number of PHEV vehicles being made available over the next few years, and those vehicles will be more incentivized to overuse public infrastructure, and have less incentive to spend their own money to install home charging solutions (L2 EVSE). Read more

The 30% cap on the MSRP should be removed. As it is now the 30% cap effectively punishes low to moderately priced EVs while subsidizing EVs with higher prices even though they have smaller batteries and aren't ZEVs. Read more

I do not see any incentives for electric motorcycles or scooters. These are becoming a viable technology now and prevent using gas. (more models are appearing annually) Can the government also give us cash incentives to purchase a new electric motorcycle and scooter? Read more

I fully support the current initiatives, but as an owner of a used electric vehicle, it is disappointing that I do not have access to the incentives for installing a level 2 charging station at my own home. Only new vehicle owners get access to this, which makes little sense. Read more

I would like to see a greater presence in advertising about the government incentives. Almost everyone I speak to about the program has no idea that it exists, much less what kinds of amounts are available towards the purchase or lease of an EV. Read more

Re: Electric Vehicle Chargers Ontario Program (EVCO) 1. I would like to see level 3 charging stations put in to the ON Route stations. This is a gaping hole in the charging station network and a place where the Province should be showing leadership. Read more

My wife and I intend to purchase an EV as our next vehicle. It is totally dependent on the availability of a rebate or other financial incentive. The current rebate program will allow us to proceed with the purchase. [Original Comment ID: 196194]
